i want to say 1000 adverse but its not an option
A product standard material use is 2kg per unit. The standard price is £2.50 per kg.
In January 53000 kg were used at a cost of £136,000. 27,000 units were produced.
What is the materials usage variance
2,500 Favourable
2,500 Adverse
4,000 Favourable
4,000 Adverse
i done (2x27000)-53000

I got 2,500 FAV.
Actual quantity x standard price
53,000 x £2.50 = 132,500
Standard quantity (of actual output) x standard price
54,000 x £2.50 = 135,000
= 2,500 i think...0 -

aimeexox is correct
Try and work out the answers that will help you understand the varience process.
Understand EXPECTED usage and; ACTUAL usage
Expected materaial usage for 27000 units is (27000 x 2kg) = 54,000 Kg
Actual material usage to produce 27,000 units is..............= 53,000 Kg
Reading the above figure is the Usage FAVOURABLE or ADVERSE?
Because we used less material then expected; the varience = FAVOURABLE. (This automatically eliminates 2 adverse answers)
2,500 Favourable
2,500 Adverse
4,000 Favourable
4,000 Adverse
the calculation is (54,000 -53,000) x £2.50 = £2,500 FAVOURABLE
Answer A is correct0 -
Keep these questions coming, lol. They good Practice!!!! Im dreading my MAC exam next month0

HI
I agree with you Stuartander. I am finding MAC horrible. DFS was a breeze compaired to MAC - it just doesnt click with me for some reason.0 -
ME THREE but we keep practising, MAC has to be the most difficult as yet (which you would expect) and cant even remember anything we did in ecr0
-
Oh i got confused because it didn't say anything about price variance so ignored the price0

I'm exactly the same - can't remember a thing about ECR as I did it sooooo long ago.
My worry about that is when I took ECR I remember reading posts from peeps who took PEV/PCR saying that they had thrown elements of ECR into the PEV/PCR exams. I also remember Steve or Sandy posted that it was reasonable to assume that students should still have this knowledge!!! HA - I WISH!FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -

I didn't read the question properly, as usual.....
Total price & usage variance is -1000
but material variance alone is 2500 fav. Always stick to the std cost when working that out.0 -
Total price & usage variance is -1000
but material variance alone is 2500 fav.
Therefore the price varience must be 3500 ADVERSE
Calaulations to prove that
£136000 divideby 53000kg = £2.56604 per kg
Autual price paid ....= £2.56604
Expected price to pay £2.50
Actual price is greater then expected pricetherefore varience has to be ADVERSE
(2.56604 - 2.50) x 53000 = 3500 ADVERSE0 -
no I got it to about -1000 in total
The price is advert but material usage is favourable.0 -
Hello,,
Material Usage:
Std 27,000 X 2 = 54,000Kgs x £ 2.50 = 135,000
Act ...................53,000Kgs x £ 2.50 = 132,500
Variance = 2,500 (F)
Material Price:
Std 53,000Kgs X £ 2.50 = 132,500
Act........................... = 136,000
Variance = 3,500 (A)
Total Material Vairance = £ 1,000 (A)
Hope this helps.0
